I bought my truck 2 weeks ago. I love this motor but every video I see on YouTube is now thrust bearing grenading. Where do I look on my truck for the build date. I bought the extra insurance but still.

I'd say stop worrying about it and just drive it. If it happens, you have the warranty.

It’s all the “influencers” making their click bait videos to get views. It’s the unfortunate side of YouTube.

Yes, the thrust bearing has been an issue on the LZ0 - it seems to be isolated to a few months of build dates, but the data is still being collected.

Drive it, enjoy it and know that if something goes awry - you have a warranty.

Build date of the vehicle is on the sticker at the bottom of the LH B-pillar. Open the driver door and you’ll see it. Motor build date is hard to get eyes on it. Usually it’s a month or two before the vehicle build date.

Just had the dealer measure the bearing and was found to be in spec, 12,500 miles and June Build.

A friend walked in while I was at dealer with his 2026 3.0 and the engine had just failed at 5K, miles. There was no ETA for a new engine.

My 2025 Tahoe Z71 just hit 6600 miles (including 2x 1700 mile trips) no issues. Love this ride and the mpg it provides!

Any more updates. Considering ordering a 2026 Denali XL diesel. Man, seems like GM is a dumpster fire. Maybe I should stick with my March 2024 build LM2.
